From the Land of Texas
From the Land of Texas, I am back to posting our journey from the state of Texas during February and March. Lots of new birds yet to come and landscapes of places I have never been to before.
Texas is a very big state and our first stop is Davy Crockett National Forest in Eastern Texas. It is nice to see pine trees again after the long stay along the gulf coast. During our stay here in February the day time temperatures are not to bad, but it did get down below freezing a few times at night.
This map below shows the journey we took across the state of Texas. From Al to Western Texas we traveled 3210 miles. We were in Texas for 2 months during February and March. Our initial plan was to slowly drop down to Big Bend National park, Texas is a long state, so each red dot is a park we stayed at along the way.
I have to say Texas has some beautiful parks and if you get the America the Beautiful National park pass, it gives you 50% off all national parks and Core of Engineer parks. So this park we are at today only cost 10 dollars a night and that includes electricity and water.

Thanks
I like that you included the map with this post Sandra – the pictures are peaceful and not as “Texas looking” as those longhorns. 🙂
Thank you Linda, gives you a better idea where the pictures are taken at..
Yes, I thought it was handy to see Sandra.
Thank you Sandra. TEXAS! And thank you for the great comment on my site. Blessings
You are welcome, thank you. 😊
That is a great trip across Texas and a lot of different scenery but what stopped you from continuing along the Gulf Coast? Not my business. Just curious

Laugh at yourself
Well, I checked the map over and over and there are a lot of places I would like to see down there. But the time of year and price made us decide to stay north. Being our plan is to head towards Big Bend National Park. We have a reservation there and you have to reserve way in advance to get in at Big Bend. It was going to be spring break down there also, even though it seems like it has been spring break at every state we go to, it is following us. 😊
That explains it 😀
I lived in south Texas for a couple of years and it holds a special place in my heart
It is such a diverse state, from forest to desert and mountains. A little of everything.
I do love a good road trip. Thanks for the parks info. Good to know while in the great state of Texas.
You are very welcome, lots of great parks in this state.
I’ve always thought of Texas as a dry state. Instead I have to change my mind.
Yes, we found the eastern part of Texas has some wonderful lakes and rivers. But it also has a lot of desert that we will be getting to. It was hot and very dry. 😊
I am glad you enjoyed your trip through Texas – we live in the piney woods, north of Houston. Had enough of the tree pollen though…🤧
Yes, Texas is a wonderful state. Such a variety of things to see and do.
🤠
Really fantastic pictures Sandra!

Welcome to my state! Hope you’ve enjoyed it, and you’re welcome back anytime.
Thank you very much, I love Texas, there is so much to see and do and great weather all winter. The prices are the best on all the parks. 😊
Thanks for the info and I’m looking forward to more pictures. My aunt lives in Lubbock Texas and I have visited her there several times and know the area well. Really fantastic there. Greetings from Germany…. Bea
